(Deming) – A 13-year-girl was run over by a truck Saturday afternoon.
Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Jose Martinez said Alexis Walker was airlifted to El Paso for treatment after the rear tire of a 1996 Dodge pickup ran over her hip.
The accident occurred at just before 4 p.m. Saturday off Apache Hills Drive when 48-year-old Clarence Coulson, Jr., was driving the pickup off-road with Walker and an adult in the back.
Martinez said the truck became stuck on a dirt mound, and while Coulson was attempting to dislodge the truck, Walker became concerned about a tool box and other items moving in the bed of the truck and jumped out of the truck.
Martinez said it appeared Walker fell as she landed on the ground at the same time the truck became dislodged, and the truck ran over her.
